I hadn’t read the Hollywood Reporter article before.... it just makes me so sad. The saddest part was hearing: “Ask anybody in our group of kids at that time: They were passing us back and forth to each other. [Alison Arngrim] from Little House on the Prairie said [in an interview], “Everybody knew that the two Coreys…

Pedophiles in Hollywood?! You mean the industry that took Shirley Temple to bars so much they named a drink after her and never blinked at J. D. Salinger’s 15 year old girl friend and keeps putting 12 year olds in hooker outfits in movies and music videos has a problem with pedophilia?! No fucking way!!!!

Who says we’re shocked? NO WOMEN ARE SHOCKED BY THE BEHAVIOR, WE’RE SHOCKED THAT MEN ARE ACTUALLY FINALLY LISTENING BECAUSE WE HAVE BANDED TOGETHER AS A MOB.

“You can totally go over to America, the land of awesomeness unlike New Zealand (why are you so proud of living here in this shitheap I don’t even know) and get a minimum wage job grubbing for tips, and it’ll still be better than here! wait, why are you offended?? IT’S A COMPLIMENT COME BACK”

Yes- and I’m still mad at him about that. Not never-watching-Tootsie-again mad, but I’d like him to apologize for perpetuating the myth that that sort of thing is ever okay.

He’s trying to remove the sexual harassment angle. Also notice he claims to have complimented a man in his apology.

you have to be culturally aware of different cultures

You are not Scott Brown from New Hampshire anyway, damn carpet-bagger can fuck right off with that!

Yes. This is fucking terrifying. For one, using a completely vulnerable immigrant minor to test their legal authority. Trying to run out the clock for the 20 week ban to apply. Then of course the insane logical conflict of railing against so-called anchor babies, then essentially trying to force on into existence? I…

Actually he slapped her across the face in order to get her to cry.

This was the scariest fucking story about our government. Between their horrible arguments about undocumented people not being actual fucking people and their fucking handmaiden tale style moralizing this is the scariest the GOP has been.

This...this gives me so much angst. Because as an adult, it’s wholly clear and certain and “of course you wouldn’t...” but as a college kid 30 years ago...standards of expected behavior were very different. I cringe now thinking of what we thought a relationship was or how one acted at the bar.

Women are fucking DONE and I am delighted.

What’s weird about this is that these kind of things happen. Harrison Ford punched Ryan Gosling during the filming of Blade Runner 2049. BUT why the need for a NDA? Is was an audition of a powerful scene, it got out of control. WHY THE NDA?!?

Nietzsche is also relevant here, with one minor change, given his own rampant sexism:

Talk to other guys and be a voice for us. That’s really powerful and a great way of making better things you’re not proud of.

I keep hoping that some day, an actual pro-level athlete utters this nonsense in a press conference after a loss. It would be so delicious. “You can say all you want about their passing, or goal tending, but really, the reason Montreal beat the Boston Bruins today is because god hates us.” Boom. Mic drop.

Ah yes, as Epicurus said:

If Zeus is not real, who raped all those women while in furry cosplay? Wasn’t me!
